This newly renovated one-bedroom apartment on Portland Road blends period character with modern finishes. High ceilings and a bay window give the reception room a spacious feel despite the compact overall footprint, while the semi open-plan kitchen/reception provides a comfortable, practical living space for a single occupant or couple.
Practical strengths include a long lease (107 years), double glazing, mains gas central heating and a small private garden. Local amenities are within easy reach—South Norwood Leisure Centre, Country Park and regular bus and rail links from Norwood Junction provide straightforward commutes into central London.
Be clear on the constraints: total internal area is small (approximately 388 sq ft), and the local area records higher crime rates and socioeconomic deprivation compared with London averages. Service charge and ground rent are moderate (£800 and £400 annually respectively), and council tax is low.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer or investor looking for a well-presented, low-maintenance home with good transport connections and period appeal. It offers immediate move-in condition and straightforward rental or owner-occupier potential, but buyers should accept the compact size and local area challenges.
